I used to hate bycylists... still kinda do, but my DH is training for tris - and he tells me to lay off, that they ride closer to the road because it is smoother, and less broken glass is there... and you can get a ticket riding your bike on the side-WALK... They irk me when they are out like a CAR, but technically they are a vehicle... ugh, I won''t get started.

But, I hate it when someone is an A$$ when they drive... and you are in a car with someone who is afraid to use the horn. Come on... give em a little, toot! Say, hey A$$HOLE with your horn! It feels GOOOOOOOD!

I love my horn. I dont think I over use it. I think I live in an area with a lot of bad drivers.

I hate it when people comment on how young I am. It is ALWAYS done in a condescending way, not one that is at all meant to be compliementary. That is always because yes I look young, and yes, I''ll even act young to some regards... eh. Grr.

I hate it when I hear people making excuses for things. There are some excuses, TRUE... but excuses are only justifications for giving up on yourself, your own hopes and dreams. That just drives me up the wall. STOP MAKING EXCUSES. THERE ARE TALKERS AND THERE ARE DO-ERS. IF YOU''D QUIT TALKING ABOUT IT, YOU COULD HAVE DONE IT ALREADY!

I''m feelin'' fiesty today!

I think you completely read my mind here! Well, except for the cyclists. We don''t have a ton around here so I''m not terribly irked by them. I just hate it when they seem so oblivious. I mean, you have NO protection from a couple tonnes of metal rolling over your body, PAY ATTENTION!!!

I am a self-admitted b*tch when it comes to driving. I also feel like I live in an area where there are a lot of bad drivers...but then I''ll be in another city and think that it''s full of bad drivers too! My biggest peeve about driving is when cars in adjacent lanes are driving at the same speed. Uhhhh, isn''t the point of having multiple lanes so that traffic can flow and we don''t all crawl at the same pace!?!?!?

Constant complainers, excuse-makers, and woe-is-me types drive me up the wall!!!!! I do not get stressed easily, and the list of things that stress me out is short and odd, so when people mope about minutiae it drives me nutters.

Spelling mistakes drive me bonkers. Your vs. you''re. Misuse of apostrophes. Uggh.

Lastly, I can''t stand whistling!!! There''s a story behind it, but whistling makes me cringe.

So here goes another ''What makes you fly into an almighty, seeing red, steam pouring out of your ears, blood boiling rage?''

The other morning I was driving in to work and already late. After getting out of the express pass lane, about 4 lanes had to merge into one and it was taking some time. Everyone was being courteous towards one another...except for this one lady that we''ll call MegaB (I''m sure you all can guess what the B stands for

).

MegaB was next to me and we had a red truck and a white car in front of us. So MegaB needed to let red truck man in because otherwise he would have been pushed off into the grass. But you see MegaB is wayyyy too good to let someone in front of her. So she gets really close to the car in front of her and starts cursing this guy out. The guy was like ''ok lady'' and backs off because he knew I would let him in. You think that would be the end of it right?

Not for MegaB.

She slows down and leaves a gap between herself and the car in front and then tells red truck man ''go ahead'' so he thinks ok, I''ll go. As soon as he did, she sped up and cut him off and in the process hits her mirror against his mirror. Red truck man, who was far more patient than I would have been, finally gets angry and drives up a little and hits her side mirror with his hand. Not hard but enough to release whatever tension he was feeling.

So what does MegaB do? She calls the cops. That''s right. She called Florida Highway Patrol. At this point she had merged to the left and red truck man kept driving on the road. FHP is so nearby (this was a major highway) that they were there quickly. I can see in my side view mirror that she was describing what the man did to her car.

I was so upset and furious with her behavior, that I merged to the left, hit reverse, and was 2 hours late giving my statement to the cops. I just couldn''t let it go. I needed to make sure that the cops knew that entire scene was her fault and completely provoked by her.

And it felt great

I love it! Good for you!!!

Steel,
This probably goes against your thread''s raison d''etre, but you are one funny woman!

 

[princesss]

Thank goodness this is here, lol. I just saw two things on the drive home that really bugged me.

I hate it when the road is WIDE OPEN and some jerk comes speeding up behind you (you, who are going 5 mph over the speed limit and feeling very daring), tailgates you for a few seconds, then changes lanes to pass you. The lane was open. You could have passed without riding my tail, jackbutt. But you just wanted to be a jerk. Oh, and thanks for doing it IN A FREAKING COP CAR. Come racing up behind me, make me think I''m going to get a speeding ticket, then get back to going 15 mph over the speed limit (yeah, so he was doing 80). Awesome. I would have thought you were doing something important if you passed me going like that. But you had to tailgate me to make sure I knew you were annoyed at me for going to slowly. Thanks.

I also hate it when people (not cops, normal Joe Shmoes) use the shoulder as their own personal passing lane because they don''t want to wait. Yeah, your time is WAY more valuable than mine, that''s why I''m waiting in line with everybody else and you''re taking cutsies at 45 mph. I hope you get a ticket, jerkwad.

Something like this happened to me today. I was in line at the red light, and at this particular place, people CAN'T WAIT to make their right turn so they proceed to go into the empty parking spaces to our right (this is a ONE lane road in the middle of town). If I refuse to do this and wait in like like I'm supposed to (I was a several cars back from the stoplight - if I am the second car in line sometimes I will scoot by one car to make a right turn), anyways people get super peeved and this a.m. I had a guy in some giant truck honking at me. For what? Oh, right, because you wanted to turn the one lane into a two lane so you can speed by me like a moron (and you expect me to do the same).

It's just so annoying. Like let's all just change the rules of the road to fit you. And no offense to people who drive giant trucks, but to me those are usually the worst offenders, at least in my area.

 

[HollyS]

We just need to make this a permanent thread . . . 'cause we're gonna keep adding peeves every day . . .

Why does it seem that your bank only has two tellers? One for the drive thru, one for the inside. Tons of employees standing around, long lines of customers, but only two tellers.

Why do people drive diagonally across a parking lot instead of down a row, up a row? I know: it's so you can back into them as they come flying past you. You looked to the left and right, to no avail. But you didn't scan the entire lot for Mr. I'm In A Hurry, who can't be bothered with silly things like lanes.

Why do the same people, with the same laptops, show up every day at your local Starbucks and take up valuable and hard to come by seats while nursing one drink for four hours? Do they have jobs? Can't they work from home? Are they working, or surfing? Are they lonely? Wouldn't this routine bore the heck out of you?

What do they put on the grocery store floors to make them so dadgum slippery? Do they want you to fall and injure yourself? I would have gone down hard today if it hadn't been for the cart.

And Princess, don't get me started on my local law enforcement (I use the term loosely).

I don''t know if this has been brought up yet but here''s something that REALLY bugs me:

1) Brown nosers - The people that just kiss butt all day long to try and look better to the boss, other people... you name it. I hate that. It''s so fake! The fake syrupy insincerity makes me insane.

2) Women that use their ''assest''s to get ahead at the workplace. - I know a woman that has slept with managers and otherwise flirts, brown noses, whatever it takes to get what she wants from any available man.

I''m so not that person and I it bugs me to no end that people schmooze others like that. (When I was 5 my dad said, ''say please and thank you at the dinner table'', I said ''please and thank you are for butt kissers!'' - that sums it up.... ok jk, thats just politeness but funny nonetheless, hehe)

And to second Bia... I HATE people that don''t RSVP to things!

I absolutely hate it when people act like that. I knew a girl once at my old job who had like two personalities, one in front of our boss and another behind her back. When she left the co. she got a big party, gift, cake, etc... Because I refused to brown nose, when I quit I got a Hallmark card left on my desk.

 

[asscherisme]

When people get an email but never respond. And then if you ask them, did you get the email, they say "yeah". Uh, if you took the time to read it, take 3 seconds to acknowledge it if it requires a response.

People who chew with their mouth open. And even worse, talk with food in their mouth. My ex did this and it was the most disgusting thing EVER. It got to where I could not even eat in the same room as him. Somehow he managed to keep it closed and not do that when we were dating. Its like after we were married, he though hmmm, great now I can chew with my mouth open and not wait to chew my food before I talk. Ewwww.

Is a mission of mine to make sure my kids don''t do this!!!!

People who are on their cell phones while driving and almost hit me.

I agree with most of the driving posts that have already be said.

RUDE people. I am so sick of self involved rude people. I don''t kinow if its just my own observation but people seem so much more selfish and self absorbed now than they use to be. And I blame the internet and technology. When I was younger, people had to actually talk to each other to communicate.

Clickey moms at my children''s school. I hate hate that. Moms are so clicky. They act like they are in High School or Jr. High.

Mean kids being raiised by mean parents. I am raising my kids to be polite and nice and it drives me insane when there are so many rude and mean kids and they are learning that from their parents.

Anti-semitism. My son had a girl say to him recently that she hates jewish people and that her parents hate jewish people but they would not say it to their faces. Agggg..... hate that. Or people who tell my kids they are going to hell because they don''t accept Jesus. Good thing I don''t believe in hell. Have encountered that sort of thing multiple times. I''m all about tolerance, but please please dont'' put my children or me down for not having your beliefs.

People who assume that because I don''t go to church I''m immoral. I''ve heard that one too Since when does going to church make someone moral? I don''t think morality and religion are the same thing.

This one is weird... I hate being touched anywhere I have exposed tendons... Like the crook of my arm or knee, or my neck. It literally makes me cringe and sends chills down my spine!


I hate... I mean REALLY HATE hearing people eat. Crunching of any type of salad, chip, whatever makes my skin crawl. I despise commercials where they are trying to advertise how crunchy something is (a cereal commercial comes to mind) and I have to hear them crunch. EEEEk.



I get really tired of ''one uppers.'' Any story you tell, they either had something SO much better or SO much worse happen to them.

Me too! I actually pause the tv and sit there in silence, just so I can fast forward through such commericals. I can''t watch some TV chefs, because they seem to feel the need to talk while they are tasting their finished creation. Seriously?! You are a national TV star (I''m talking to you Giada!), so show some manners!


And DH, much as I love him, drives me bonkers because he crunches ice when we go out to eat.

I have fast forwarded through many such instances! haha!! My ex bf used to slurp coffee and soup. The noise drove me bonkers. I''ll never understand why he couldn''t just wait 2 minutes for it to cool off!!

 

[2Artists]

Good topic I am super grumpy right now so perfect thread for me.

Mean people.

Rude people.

I agree about what was said here about people who ding up your car and leave it with no note. Yeah shhhhhhh no one will notice

People who expect the world of you and never so much as say thank you.

People who leave public restrooms really nasty-like ladies who hover and leave pee all over the seat. Gross.

When people don''t wash their hands when they should.

People who do really over the top X-rated PDA in places where it is not appropriate. Cute sweet PDA is perfectly fine I am talking about REALLY extreme stuff from adults old enough to know better. Plus the people who do that are usually as a rule the last people on the planet anyone would want to see do that.

Socks that slip down and get stuck under my foot in my shoe.

People that push and are a general hazard to everyone around them at concerts.

I had to do some public speaking recently and there was a person taking in the back having a full on conversation and it was super rude. Makes a person want to get on the microphone and say "hey you like talking so much why don''t you come up here and switch places with me".

When my husband got laid off and people kept saying how lucky he was to have time off while they were stuck having to go to work. Yeah whoooopeeeee

Yeah I am on one today.

AHHHHHHHHHH..........

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all the people who put down any kind of chewing noises! Whether it''s food or gum, I very honestly get violent tendencies and panic attacks when I''m around this! (Yes I know I''m crazy, and yes, I actually HAVE talked to a therapist about it.) I used to actually hit my brother or my friends when I was a kid, and it will ruin my whole day/night if I''m stuck in a car with gum chewers, or people who just insist on constantly eating things with their mouths open. And yes, the plane thing is the WORST!! Especially since every worried parent gives their kids gum to smack on so their precious little ears don''t pop. Unfortunately, my head just might explode instead. If I could change the world... there would be no gum, and people would all be taught to eat with their mouths closed! It''s just so disgusting and rude. And so is popping your gum! AND the commercials with the crunchy food. It''s all gross.

Ok.. rant over. For now

And oh yes, one more thing. Nose picking children. Especially ones who are old enough to know better, and who wipe it on the bathroom walls (or any other walls for that matter) at my dance studio. If I knew who was doing this, I would seriously ask them to NEVER, EVER step foot in the studio again. That is absolutely unforgivable.

 

[OUpearlgirl]

haha Kelli!! You are just like me. I have yelled at family members at the dinner table, I just can''t handle it. When I run my own household we will play music during dinner so I don''t have to hear it!!

 

[that_someone_special]

So a few people in here mentioned that they dislike (hate) people that are in their cars and can hear other peoples crappy music. I thought it didn''t bother me -- until today!

I got to a doc appt about 30 mins early so I pulled my car into a spot that was away from all other cars. 5 mins later this girl pulls up DIRECTLY NEXT TO ME. I was just sitting back ebaying on my phone and trying to relax. BUUUUT NOOOOO. She''s right next to me when there are 85 million other spots and she has her music on "Concert Level" It wasn''t bad music, but really bit into my relaxing moment. I figured she''d turn the car off, but two songs later it was still blaring. I gave up and left my car. 10ft later, I can still hear the music. 20ft later it''s still there. 40ft later I can still clearly make out words of the music. Easily 100 feet from the car and I could STILL HEAR HER MUSIC.

REALLY? You need to make yourself deaf before you hit 21? REALLY?

Leaving the house, and THEN realizing that this shirt has lil kitty hairs on it too! GREAT!

When people come to work sick.

 

[bubbly1126]

Oh man. There are SOOOOO many things!

1.) When you're stopped at a red light and behind a car that INSISTS on inching up... and inching up... and inching up... as if their inching is going to make the darn light turn green faster! Oh man, that really annoys me! One time, this car kept doing just that and got to the point where he was actually sitting in the middle of the intersection. Seriously? How idiotic. lol

2.) This has been said... but when people pull out in front of you only to go the pace of a snail.

3.) This has also been said... when you're on a three lane highway and the car(s) next to you decide they are just going to "pace" you. HELLO! 3 lanes for a reason! Get your butt moving so I can switch lanes and get out of someone else's way!!

4.) By FF is guilty of this... when people put dishes in the sink without cleaning them off first! I especially hate this with cereal (which is what he does). It's GROSS! How much time does it take to empty your bowl or scrape your plate?!?! NOT MUCH!

5.) Loud eaters. FF's brother is the main culprit with this one. I CANNOT stand to be around him when eating. I hate family dinners b/c I don't want to hear his loud noises. Seriously, how can someone be so loud when eating?!? It's gross and makes me want to literally toss my cookies right there. Ugh, even thinking about it makes me sick!

I'm sure there are many more... but I have to get ready for work...

Or, when you sent them an email, and they respond a week later, about something else, asking you to do something for them, and you are like did you get my email? then they are like... oh yeah I got the email. And you are my friend???? a$$ hat!

2)OMG, yes. You know what is the irony, I told my parents church is for hypocrites, this was when I was much younger. My mom wanted to know why... the preacher''s children were dealing drugs!!! having sex, and behaving horribly! I was like, this is ridiculous... and you think the church is a SAFE PLACE? to protect me from EVIL? ha! then she retorted that they must need church the most... omg. Whatever. At least my mom feels all warm and fuzzy when she goes and that makes me happy.

3) THIS DRIVES ME NUTS... esp when the package is marked HANDLE WITH CARE.... grrrr
